Frequently Asked Questions
-
DescriptiProximity to your customer or delivery area, transport access, and kitchen size are the essentials to check first, along with whether lease terms are flexible enough to grow into more space later. It's also worth looking at the standard of the kitchen itself – Encore sites are fully serviced and managed to a consistent standard, with site management, compliance, and maintenance handled as part of membership rather than left for you to arrange. If you're not sure which location fits best, Encore's team can talk you through availability across the network.

Encore Kitchens supports delivery-only brands running virtual takeaways, restaurant groups expanding into new areas, manufacturers and caterers producing at volume in a Central Production Kitchen, businesses booking a Day Rate Kitchen for a one-off job or menu test, and creators using a Studio Kitchen for food photography and content shoots.
-
Terms are flexible and scale with what you need. Studio Kitchen and Day Rate Kitchens can be booked by the hour, half-day, or full day for one-off shoots or short projects, while Delivery-Only and Central Production Kitchens run on ongoing membership terms for brands that need a permanent base.
-
Membership runs on a single flat monthly fee rather than a revenue share, covering business rates, pest control, wifi, waste, utilities, and maintenance, plus 24-hour site management and a dedicated account manager. See the full pricing breakdown by location for exact rates.
-
Fitting out a commercial kitchen independently means covering deposits, equipment, and building work yourself, which adds up substantially before you've even opened. Renting a fully fitted kitchen through a provider like Encore brings that entry cost down considerably, since the space, compliance, and servicing are already in place.
-
Every Encore kitchen comes fully serviced, so there's no fit-out to arrange before you can start cooking. Standard equipment includes a canopy and HVAC system, three-phase and single-phase power sockets, a waste management system, and a grease trap, with gas, cold storage, and dry storage available depending on the site. It's ready to move into and start trading from, rather than an empty shell you have to build out yourself.
-
Yes. Encore's Studio Kitchen is a professional kitchen space designed specifically for creators, built around a fully equipped domestic-style setup rather than a commercial production layout. It's suited to food photography, recipe videos, brand content shoots, or any project where the kitchen itself needs to look as good as the food does.
-
Yes. Because Encore operates a network of 25+ locations, businesses can add a second or third kitchen, or expand into a new city, under the same account rather than switching providers.
-
Every Encore kitchen is held to the same high standard, so wherever you rent, you're stepping into a space that's clean, properly maintained, and fitted with professional-grade equipment and infrastructure – extraction, ventilation, and power all included (see what a space comes with above). The team behind it handles the day-to-day running of the building, so your focus stays on the food rather than the admin. It works at any stage of a business, too: the same setup suits a brand renting its first kitchen just as well as one already running several. And because Encore is the UK's largest commercial kitchen operator, with more sites than any other provider, adding a second kitchen or expanding into a new city is simple – the same account, the same standard, wherever your business grows.
